Arduino/Pi presentation slides posted
I created a page about my recent presentation with a link to the slides here. Video will be uploaded when it is ready. There is some explanation about the dropped characters we saw in demoB.

For January 11th: Arduino <==> Raspberry Pi Communication
Paul MacDougal will talk about arranging communication between these two popular single board computers, and Alex Davis will have a Raspbery Pi with Retropie and MAME to show. This will be followed by the usual show and tell and chat session. Bring your projects, ideas and questions.
We’ll be meeting in EBI room 1007, next door to the one for previous months (and the same as the one TAR is meeting in). This room will be stable through April.
Details and maps here.
Also, we took advantage of TI’s special offer of MSP432 Launchpads. They’ll be available at the meeting for $5. (They will also be at the Splatspace open meeting tomorrow evening.)
For December 14th: Moving Beyond the Arduino IDE
Dissatisfied with the Arduino IDE? Curious about what else is out there? Join Jon Wolfe and Pete Soper at the December TriEmed meeting to learn about alternatives for embedded software development.
Dev Kits!
Bill Farrow brought a load of surplus dev kits to the October 12th meeting. These were divvied up at the end of the meeting. Gene Kahn has already started working with his Freescale Tower kits.
Next Meeting October 12th, 7pm @ NCSU
Fluid modeling of resistance, current, potential, capacitance, and inductance by Ryan Shuster.
The last part of the meeting will be the usual open forum. Bring your show and tell items, problems needing help, etc.
THERE WILL BE AN ASSORTMENT OF DONATED DEV KITS TONIGHT AND ATTENDEES WILL DECIDE WHAT TO DO WITH THEM AT THE MEETING.
Location, maps, and other details on the meeting page here.
For the August 10th Meeting: Electronics Tutorials & A Bench Test Instrument
This month’s meeting will be at NCSU Centennial Campus Engineering Building III: Meeting Details
The August meeting will be in three parts:
- Ohm’s Law Modeled With Fluid Flow by Ryan Schuster
- Transistor Tips by Shane Trent
- A Programmable Bench Test Instrument Oriented Toward Power Measurements by Chip McClelland
The last part of the meeting will be the usual open forum. Bring your show and tell items, problems needing help, etc.
For the July 13th Meeting: An AllPixel Project Update
The July meeting will be an update about the AllPixel project, a USB-based smart LED controller launched via KickStarter last October by Adam Haile and Dan Ternes of Maniacal Labs.
In addition Ian Hands will demonstrate his (simulated) garage door + sparkcore + Pebble + Ubidots project and update us about geekSPARK in September.
Short tutorials about basic electronics would be welcome.
Debouncing Slides posted
I uploaded my powerpoint slides, Arduino library, and demo sketch here. I am sorry that we could not get video of the presentation.
